How to Beat Depression.

From Our Own Correspondent BA, Jan. 14.

THE Lautoka mill stopped crushing early in the month, and Rarawai fol lowed suit a week later.

Both mills have just completed record crushes and are hoping to effect all re pairs and overhauling in 16 weeks, so that they may be able to dispose of the record crops of cane now growing.

Money now seems to be circulating and business in most of the stores seems to be improving. All we need now is rain and next year the ugly word “depression” will seem but a nightmare.

Both mills were fortunate in having no serious breakdowns, and everything ran smoothly, which reflects credit upon the efficiency of the staffs.
